Around here they have associate positions that don't require advanced degrees, but that might not be universal. It also might be limited to larger libraries or bigger cities.

Given your qualifications and the jobs you said you enjoyed you should try the public library. I don't know what the requirements are in your neck of the woods, but many library systems have entry level positions that require a bachelor's. There's often a civil service test involved too, but my...

Indefatigable.

Thanks for writing up another session. I've always been curious about how people run horror campaigns in 3.5, plus I was a big fan of Silver Quill/Spellforge Keep, so I'm having a blast reading this.

Being out of print isn't your biggest worry - I've seen it at several shops, you could probably find it if you wanted it. The real problem is that it's bigger than any encyclopedia volume I've ever seen and retails for $50.

Exactly. "We musn't fight each other. Surely we should be united against the common enemy." "The Sapphire People's Front!" "No, the hobgoblins."

I liked the bit at the end with the name of the resistance movement. It had a "Life of Brian" feel to it.

I was thinking that I might allow PCs to add 1 point to an ability score at 16, 22, 120 and 190 thousand experience, just like they would if they continued leveling as normal. Would this cause any balance problems that I'm not foreseeing? Are there reasons other than balance not to do it? I'm a...

How about: The Salmon Mousse Benefit: Your death effects are effective against targets that would normally be immune.

I'm playing in Savage Tide right now and I think you should go for it, too. Go ahead and give up evocation, too, if that's the character you want to play. Let the rest of the party worry about doing damage. I would, as a courtesy, make sure that you and your DM are on the same page about which...

I use stealth all the time. For some reason it just feels a little easier on my eyes.

Woops...beaten to the punch. I do think that the ray is a good spell to take, though. Once you get third level spell slots you can empower it and do some serious strength penalizing.

We still have two years of playtesting left?

On your way to mirror image and false life, be sure to find access to mage armor and shield. If you know a combat is coming, get them up. Other than that, your best bet for the first few levels is to stay out of combat completely. Stay in between party members, and a fair bit behind the front...

I think they shake out to be pretty close. Four bonus feats, plus scribe scroll, are pretty powerful, but only if you take all twenty levels in wizard. I voted wizard because I've found that being one level behind the wizard in play is huge, especially in published adventures.
